Backstory:

Publicly: Makes up various stories that all end in some variation of "and that's when I became an adventurer."

Privately: Vashna Blackwood was raised by a Tiefling mother and human father in an assassin's guild known as The Grave-Touched. Vashna was raised with love, but also to be a weapon. Rigorous training in athletics, weapons, alchemy, stealth, deception, infiltration, and espionage filled her days. She killed her first man before she was even an adult.

At 18, Vashna returned from a contract to find adventurers and bounty hunters burning down the headquarters of the Grave-Touched, an unassuming roadside tavern, a front for the guild, with an underground complex, in the wilderness between Hawk's Hill, Wellager's Bay, and Stonepoint. Her parents, her guild mates, everyone she had ever known, loved, and trusted were killed. Vashna has been living as a hired blade ever since but has grown weary of always being on the move. She would not reveal her true past unless it's someone she intimately trusts.

While at a tavern in Hawk's Hill, Vashna eavesdropped on a group of would-be thieves hoping to steal the treasure rumored to be inside the Crypt of St. Aveline. She it would the perfect score. If the treasure was real, she could let them do all the hard work, then swoop in at the last minute to steak the prize from under their noses. And if it was fake, she could simply claim to be protecting the crypt from the grave-robbers.
